Logo_Color Theory

The logo I chose to do is Abandoned Hope it is the game me an a couple students in Game Design Project 1 are making this term. So I thought I could use this in another class. So first hand what I did was pick a font, the font I orginally had could not be loaded so I had to go with these fonts. After I chose the font for the first one, i grabbed a picture of a scythe and used to pen tool to outline it. Then I used the line segment tool to underline the text. In which I used a diffrent stroke to give ot an eerie sense of feel. After this I had to give 2 diffrent color schemes for the logo. The first one is the real feel for the game with red,black,grey,and white. These color gives the sense of an eerie mood like this game will be bloody and scary, if I did this correct this should give the players that feel. The second color scheme was orange,black,grey,and white, this was sort of a halloween feel still trying to get the same horror concept. The last color scheme was green,black,orange,and white. This had a supernatural feel to it like green ectoplasma, a ghostluy feel. I used alot of darker colors like grey and black to give the sense of horror and a dark feeling.

The second concept of the logo had sort of a blood ridden look for a text. After the text I outline line a machete to give the killer sense of feel. I duplicated the matchete so it lays out behind each word. After that i made little blood droplets and the a poop of blood to make the sense that blood was dripping from the machete. The first color scheme i came up with was yellow,grey,red,and black. The dark color give the feel of horro while the yellow outline makes the logo stand out and still gives it a creppy feel. The second color theory was real simple green and red.  The green was a supernatural feel yet again and the red mixed with it gave it a real sense. I used the blood pool with all of them. The last color scheme was red,grey,black,and white. This is the orginal concept Ive had set in my mind these colors to me give a sense of horror which the game is about.

This project was very fun and creative for me, I started my design project by researching many horr logos for movies and games. The I started sketching things out to see what I wanted. The I put these ideas together and messed around in adobe for a bit intil I had what I liked. This si what It got me.
